INITIAL VELOCITY

 

Description: This function allows the user to define and assign both linear and angular velocities to selected nodes.

 

Usage:

 

1.  DSI displays a list of additional commands in the options area:

 

2.  Each of these commands is described in the following pages.

 

- INITIAL VELOCITY: CREATE

 

Description: This function enables the user to define and assign initial velocity to the displayed model.

 

Usage:

 

1.  After the user enters CREATE, the BOUNDARY BTIC DEFINITION window pops up, and the user sets parameters in the window.

 

- INITIAL VELOCITY: DELETE

 

Description: This function enables the user to remove the selected initial velocities from the database.

 

Usage:

 

1.  DSI prompts:

>   SELECT CARD TO DELETE

 •   All available initial velocities are listed in the TIC CARD LIST box.

 

- INITIAL VELOCITY: LIST

 

Description: This function lists the defined initial velocities in a pop-up window.

 

Usage:

 

1.  DSI prompts:

>  LIST SET ONLY, EXIT TO CONTINUE

 

- INITIAL VELOCITY: MODIFY

 

Description: This function allows the user to simultaneously delete and recreate any initial velocity.

 

Usage:

 

1.  DSI prompts:

>   SELECT CARD TO MODIFY

 

2.  After the user selects an initial velocity, the BOUNDARY BTIC DEFINITION    window pops up, and the user can modify parameters in the window.

 

- INITIAL VELOCITY: SHOW

 

Description: This function allows the user to display all or some of the defined initial velocities. DSI displays the initial velocities on the screen.

 

Usage:

 

1.      DSI prompts:

>      SELECT CARD TO SHOW

?      [List of all initial velocities]

SELECT ALL

ABORT

UNDO

   EXIT

              

   All available initial velocities are listed in the TIC CARD LIST box.
